<p>So I am an international student and am going to attend the texas a&m university. But i have not received my I20 yet and i have to attend my NSC on the 19th of august. </p>
<p>So i dont think i will be able to get my visa till then because the university has not sent me my i20.</p>
<p>I called up.. But the iss cec is never available. </p>
<p>I have written emails and they say they will send it as soon as possible. </p>
<p>Now i want to ask is it compulsory to attend the NSC. I read somewhere that it was.. But given the circumstances?</p>
<p>Seriously need help here</p>
<p>oh God what took you so long? I got my i20 back in February! There is seriously no way but to wait for the i20. And yeah NSC is mandatory.
It seems like there is no way you can make it to usa before nsc so you shud probably call the admissions office and ask them to exempt you from NSC, if that is possible. Otherwise, you l have to deffer the semester…</p>
<p>Is that possible? I mean can i be exempted from the nsc? </p>
<p>The last date for registering for classes is 23 august right? </p>
<p>Ohman i hope i dont have to defer the semester!</p>
<p>I dont know; you will have to find it out by calling them. on my howdy portal it says 23 aug- 30 aug as the time to register for classes. so u can register till 30th.</p>
